[Echographic sclerotherapy of the great saphenous vein].

Abstract

The writer invites us to compare the results obtained with echo-guided sclerotherapy with those obtained with "simple" sclerotherapy, the interest of which had already been shown. This study seems to be significative because an amount of 10% of positive results has been noticed. However it is only an intermediary study for the average treatment is only 18 months long. The careful supervision of the evolution of the sclerosed axis is also useful in the understanding of the importance of prescribing a complete and rigorous treatment whose aim is to increase the efficiency of the sclerosis of remaining varicose veins considerably as well as its quality and safety, on the cosmetic field.
